Hey y'all, it's Neil Saws Griffin. Welcome to Chicago.

On our comeback season of the pitch, recorded live in Chicago, we hold back nothing.

Fourteen founders, eight investors, and twelve ideas big enough to change the world.

Everything from a better ketchup.

We were not going to join the same old sauce game. We were going to disrupt $130 billion

in our industry. We're coming after Hines to rebuilding our most broken industries.

Starting with the most wasteful and inefficient industry on the planet, fashion industry.

We're going to burn it to the ground and start fresh.

And even a business that's trying to solve arguably the biggest problem of our time, energy.

So when it comes to an electric vehicle that's basically just a big battery that happens to have wheels.

In the future, the vehicles in Garage is going to be like a giant power plant.

On the pitch, these founders aren't just here shilling big dreams. They're here for big money.

I would like to invest in this round, $300,000.

I'm in. I'm in for 50k.

We don't have any money committed in the current round.

You do know, on this season, hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested in companies on our show.

But it doesn't come easy.

Is there a valuation on that?

I want to have that conversation if you're ready to invest.

That's the answer that I didn't want.

And not everyone walks out of a pitch room with cash.

Wait, you're paying $0.12 and you're selling it for eight cents.
